Something similar to Divergent?

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the right place. Please tell me if there's some better place. I really enjoyed the first movie of the saga. Only the first. I wanted to ask you if you know any movies or books that have a similar style, maybe a little more adult but even at the same level it's ok. Thanks.

The Delirium Trilogy by Lauren Oliver - In the year 2091, civilization has been reduced to small pockets spread throughout a wasteland destroyed by the severe bombings. All of the citizens have to get surgery at 18 years old to prevent the disease Amor Deliria Nervosa, commonly known as Love, which everyone is terrified of contracting. When Lena Hallway falls victim to the disease alongside a boy named Alex, she runs away from her home of Portland, Maine into the wasteland, where she discovers the truth behind her so called "utopian" home and finds a revolution rising.

The Matched Trilogy by Allyson Condie - A dystopian society where the government controls every part of a person's life, including, but not limited to, the food they eat, the clothes they wear, the hobbies they have and the person they love. When Cassia Reyes learns to write by hand, instead of type like everyone else, she finds out that having your own choices and skills are fun. She denies her government sanctioned husband and runs away from her Province.

The Uglies Quadrilogy by Scott Westerfield - In the post-apocalyptic future society where Tally lives, teenagers, upon reaching their sixteenth birthday, undergo a surgery to mold them into a so-called “Pretty.” When Tally’s new friend Shay runs away to the Smoke, a secret refuge for those who oppose the city’s government, the future of Tally’s own operation becomes uncertain. Dr. Cable, the head of the mysterious Special Circumstances, cuts Tally a deal: betray her friends and help the city locate the runaways or remain an “Ugly” forever.When Tally joins the Smokies, she learns a chilling truth: the surgeries that the city performs are not just intended to render its inhabitants beautiful. The city also puts lesions into the minds of the “Pretties,” making them shallow, unintelligent, and ultimately an easier to control population. Over the course of the novels, Tally struggles to maintain her sense of self within a society that literally alters how people think and ultimately succeeds in undoing the system of mind alteration.

I loved the concept of Matched, as well as its sequels, but I find myself unable to appreciate Allie Condies writing style. To me it seems like a lot of stuff happens at the very beginning and very end of every book she writes, with a large, monotonous, slow burn in the middle.

The Legend series by Marie Lu (not the same as I am Legend)I really liked it, and Lu handles her third book in the trilogy better than Roth.

Truth being told, Dystopian literature is very hard to nail.

The 100 is a Dystopian TV show which I really liked. Watch the first four episodes though before you make a decision about whether to continue or not (Production change early on) but I very much enjoyed the writing.

I also really enjoyed the Across the Universe Series by Beth Revis, but as it is part sci-fi it might not be for everyone.

Books “The Testing” trilogy by Joelle Charbonneau is awesome! Similar style to the Divergent series.

I also recommend the “Survival” trilogy (Arena 1,2, & 3) by Morgan Rice, very fast paced story, while maybe not as neat as it could be, definitely deserved a recommendation because it’s fun and hard to put down.

The “Seeds” trilogy (the first one is “The Sowing”) was great-a unique world. Page turner!

This one is super adult-actual literature dystopian/horror absolutely one of the best books I’ve ever read in my life: The Handmaids Tale

Wish these weren’t all mostly Young Adult

Movies/TV

“Aeon Flux” is cool-sci fi/action

“Handmaids Tale” series is smashing-lives up to the amazing book in my opinion, and reimagines the world in a true to form way. Not for those with a weak stomach.

“The 3%” is on Netflix-a little melodramatic but I enjoyed it, in Portuguese but dubbed English/subtitles is available

The most similar thing I can think of is The Hunger Games! They both came out around the same time too. I would say that Twilight could be something that readers of Divergent might enjoy also. I run giveaways through my website for books sometimes, maybe I should run them for one of those...

Another lesser known series I would suggest is called The Guardians of Time by Marianne Curley. It isn’t a dystopian story, but it does deliver a similarly heavy dose of romance. Here’s a link to the Amazon page for the first book: The Named.
